Binding Technology

Flow bindings are designed unlike any other binding. We wanted our bindings to be the most comfortable, performance driven, but easy to use bindings on the hill. Because we believe snowboarding should be fun, we don’t like sitting down in the snow, and we expect more from a binding than just holding the boot down on the board. The result is a binding which is engineered to give you a better day on the hill simply by being the most comfortable binding, giving you more power and control over your snowboard so that making turns and doing tricks is easier than ever. On top of it all, our bindings are super easy to use. This is the essence of every Flow binding.

Core Technology

These are the three fundamental technologies that can be found in every single Flow binding, and which make Flow bindings an industry leader.

THE ORIGINAL RECLINING HIBACK

Active Strap Technology

SpeedEntry has never been more convenient without sacrificing the superior performance, comfort, and power transmission that Flow bindings are famous for. With our revolutionary Active Strap Technology (N.A.S.T.Y.), the Strap automatically lifts up when you open the Reclining Hiback and actively tightens again when you close the Hiback. Active Strap Technology reduces friction and creates more room so that getting in and out of your binding is faster and easier than ever. We’re changing the game in binding performance. Featured on NX2, Fuse and OMNI models.

STRAP ACTIVATION

When you open the Hiback, the Strap gets actively pushed out of the way, so you can easily and conveniently get your boot in and out of the binding. With the same ease, the footstrap hugs your boot at the consistent tightness you first set it at, each time you close the Hiback.

RECLINING HIBACK

Power Straps

Flow PowerStraps cover a larger area especially over the mid-foot, connecting the ankle and toe zones for a more comfortable, convenient, and more powerful riding experience. You do not have to tighten our PowerStraps to the point where you cut off your circulation and get cramped feet like with other brands bindings. Never torture your feet again during a full day of riding with the performance and comfort of Flow PowerStraps.

FUSION POWERSTRAP

FUSION one-piece PowerStraps are 3D-shaped for a great fit, and cover a larger area of your foot for more comfort and control.

HYBRID POWERSTRAP

HYBRID PowerStraps connect their ankle-strap to a more conventional toe-cap strap, for the perfect mix of control and flexibility.

EXO-FIT POWERSTRAP

An exoskeleton supportframe wraps the 3D-shaped EVA and formfits perfectly to your boot, providing great support and energy transmission.

Our Flow PowerStraps and the adjustment buckles are also designed to work seamlessly with the SpeedEntry Reclining Hiback. You have to adjust these foot-straps to your boot only once, then you lock the ratchets into place, and you can immediately start to enjoy the ease of getting into and out of your bindings through the Hiback. Set-it and Forget-it means: always enjoy the perfect and consistent tightness, no hassle with ratchets in the snow, and with our new Locking Slap Ratchets - LSR you can still easily make adjustments on the fly or open & close the foot-straps when you don’t feel like using the Reclining Hiback.

Buckles

Set-it and Forget-it! All Flow buckles lock 2-ways! Truly a hassle-free SpeedEntry experience. Fine tune your bindings only once and then be on your way.

Locking Slap Ratchet

These innovative Locking Slap Ratchet (LSR) buckles give you the option to easily get in and out of your bindings any which way you like. Whether SpeedEntry or DualEntry, they lock down to secure your preferred footstrap tightness.

Mini Ratchet Buckles

Precisely fit your PowerStrap to your boot and micro-adjust on the fly if needed. Simply pull the lightweight Airframe-lever and lock it down to secure your preferred strap tightness.

Quick Set Buckles

Adjust your straps on the medial side to fit your boot. Easy, secure and the convenient numbers on the LadderStraps help you dial in your setting.

Baseplates & Footbeds

All Flow baseplates are uniquely engineered to transfer energy directly to the
board without loss of efficiency or natural board feel, and all Flow Footbeds are designed to give maximum support and comfort.

Rockered Baseplate

Engineered to transfer energy directly to the board without loss of efficiency. The minimized contact area with the board, channels your power where it needs to go while the rockered corners of the baseplate allow any type of board to maintain optimal flex. Featured on all Flow bindings.

Canted Bank-Bed

BankBeds are full-length EVA-footbeds with 2.5º canting for optimized fit, support, and energy transfer. Featured on NX2, Fuse, OMNI, Nexus and Juno models.

OC-Kush Cushioning

OC-Kush cushioning dampens landings and absorbs chatter. Featured on the NX2 series in the OC-Kush basepad, which fits perfectly to the rockered baseplate shape for efficient energy transfer. Select NX2 and Fuse series models feature OC-Kush toe and heel impact inserts for additional comfort.

NX2-Series - Aluminum

The NX2 models offer a lightweight Aluminum alloy baseplate. This is our stiffest and most responsive baseplate. All NX2 models also offer Active Strap Technology and 2.5º canted BankBeds.

Fuse-Series - Glass-Filled Nylon

This glass-filled Nylon baseplate is slightly softer than the NX2, but still fun & responsive. For riders that want power but prefer the feel of a molded baseplate. Featuring 2.5º canted BankBeds, and select models also offer Active Strap Technology.

H-Series Composite

Bindings in our H-series are made from a very durable and slightly more forgiving POM composite plastic, with pop-through EVA pads for a smooth and comfortable ride.

Micron-Series Composite

Our Micron bindings are made from a very durable and more forgiving composite plastic. Supportive and fun for kids to learn and progress quickly.

Hi Backs

Flow hibacks fully recline so you can get in and out of a Flow binding faster with no hassle or sitting down. The PowerTriangle cable efficiently transfers the energy from the hiback and directs it into the baseplate.

Mod-Back

The modular hibacks separate the lower and upper zones for targeted strength, support, and flex where you need it. The Alu Mod-Backs offer more stiffness and response, while the GF-Nylon Mod-Backs offer a lively and fun feel. On the NX2, Fuse, and OMNI models, the lower zone also automatically triggers Active Strap Technology.

Uni-Back

Lightweight 1-piece hibacks that fully recline for easy SpeedEntry & Exit and the comfortable EVA pads reduce the pressure on your legs. The GF-Nylon Uni-Backs offer more stiffness and response, while the Composite Uni-Backs offer a forgiving, lively and fun feel.

Support Panels & Tweak Factor

The upper zone of the Mod-Backs use independently adjustable SupportPanels with model-specific “Tweak-Factor” flexes and anatomical shapes to deliver fine-tuned performance.
